Given that Samuel and Trufant will want insane contracts (i.e., $10M a year), many cap-rich teams could use a #1 CB, there aren't a lot of great CBs in the draft who will be available at 21, Springs is aging, and Rogers will be less than 100% by the start of the season, I'd support signing him at a reasonable price.

Well said. Key words- "reasonable price."
We don't have a lot of money to spend. If we can't find a good value in the draft at CB, a signing along the lines of a Brian Kelly could happen. I'm still a fan of Talib, but I don't want to reach to get him.

Kellly is about on par w/Springs in ability, age & recent injury history. I would prefer we keep a guy who played well for us last year during tough times for him. We don't need to add another injury prone cb, if anything we need youth.
